After the driver's observation, there were many strange things about the young man in the passenger seat.
He was dressed very simply and carried a tattered shoulder bag with a white phoenix embroidered on it anytime and anywhere.
He looks relatively honest, but he is blind in one eye. He usually wears a cap and sunglasses to cover his eyes.
He spoke kindly and chatted a lot with the driver along the way. The driver found that he seemed to have been to many places and knew a lot about things from all over the world. He even knew more than him, a truck driver who had traveled through thick and thin. It is very rare in young people.
He was very talkative, but his words were impeccable. No matter how the driver made insinuations, he did not reveal any information about his identity.
But the driver also had some speculation about his identity.
Wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses, in addition to covering up his blind eyes, he seemed to also want to deceive others.
If he is not a wanted criminal, then he is most likely hiding from his enemies.
However, who did this kid offend? After leaving Rongcheng for so long, he is still cautious.
The car was driving on the highway, and it became dark in a blink of an eye. The truck driver did not enter the service area, but found a highway entrance and drove straight down, and then pulled over to the side of the highway.
Yan Shouyi observed the surrounding environment and asked doubtfully: "Brother Yang, why don't you go to the service area to rest?"
The driver called himself Brother Yang, but he was actually only 26 or 27 years old. His skin was dark and wrinkled due to exposure to wind and sun, and he looked like he was in his forties.
Brother Yang took out instant noodles and hot water and responded while brewing:
"There is a fee to stay overnight in the service area, and the security guards there will try to make things difficult for us. I don't have the spare money to pay for them!"
The security guards at some service areas are so shady that they insist drivers who stay overnight pay a "garbage disposal fee" and refuse to stop if they don't pay, or they stay up all night to disturb the driver's rest.
Drivers are busy during the day and if they cannot rest peacefully at night, they will drive tiredly the next day and are prone to accidents.
Therefore, some drivers are unwilling to spend the night in the service area, and Brother Yang belongs to this type of person.
But it wasn't because he couldn't swallow it, but because he was poor.
When Brother Yang saw that Yan Shou was silent, he explained to himself:
"The boss who paid the money only said that he would send you to the north, but he didn't say that he would take care of you on the way. So you can eat whatever I eat along the way, and you can live how I live. If you want to have a big meal, If you want to stay in a hotel... you have to pay extra.”
Yan Shouyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that he would meet a Jiaqian layman just after leaving Rongcheng.
He touched his pocket, feeling suddenly embarrassed.
He didn't seem to have any cash with him, except for the thousand yuan that he had put in his pocket before going out.
And in order not to be discovered by the eyes and ears of the famous sect, Yan Shouyi could not use any of Lin Zitong's bank cards or credit cards outside.
Once there is a transaction record, it may be discovered by people from famous families and then set on fire.
So now Yan Shouyi only has one thousand yuan in his body, which is even poorer than the driver in front of him, Brother Yang.
"Just instant noodles!"
Yan Shou jumped out of the car and took the instant noodles that Brother Yang had made. The two of them squatted on the roadside and ate and chatted.
Cars pass by on the road from time to time, but no one cares about the strangers on the roadside, especially since the two of them look so ordinary now.
Brother Yang didn't expect Yan Shouyi to be so sincere and didn't blame him at all for not letting him eat and drink well.
"Hey, don't blame me, brother. I have my own difficulties." Brother Yang felt a little guilty. After all, after receiving so much money, he still made money even if he stayed in a hotel and dined out along the way.
Yan Shou made a "suck" sound, ate half the bowl of noodles in one bite, and then asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
Brother Yang was careless and told all about his past in one breath:
"My mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me. My father was a murderer. He was a murderer when I was very young. I grew up with my grandfather. After dropping out of junior high school, I wandered around the society and finally got married. I have a wife who ran away because she thought I was poor after giving birth."
"Originally, I thought life could not be more miserable than this. After all, I still have a daughter. But as luck would have it, my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia last year. Now I don't know how much it costs to take medicine every day... I can only Save if you can, don't think I only saved food money by eating instant noodles, in fact, I saved my daughter's life."
"Hey, brother, I think you are an honest person, so I am complaining. If it were anyone else, I would not be willing to say it. Don't worry about it. I will take you to have breakfast before I get on the highway tomorrow. Don't ask why it is breakfast. , breakfast is cheap!”
Yan Shou tilted his head and looked at the driver, Brother Yang, feeling filled with emotion.
In fact, Brother Yang's fate is somewhat similar to his.
If I were not a descendant of Lu Ban, perhaps my life trajectory would not be much different from that of Brother Yang.
All living beings suffer, and you and I are just one of the many living beings.
Yan Shouyi patted Brother Yang's shoulder comfortingly and said, "God will not treat you badly, you will be happy."
"If you don't want to eat your noodles, don't pour it. Give it to me."
"..."
"Smoking?"
"Have one."
The two of them ate and drank enough and squatted on the roadside smoking.
After chatting for a while, Brother Yang, who had been running around all day, started to yawn.
He stood up and helped Yan Shouyi open the passenger door, while he took out a hammock from under the seat and tied it to the fuel tank of the truck.
Yan Shouyi said in surprise: "What are you doing?"
"Hey, it's not safe if the car doesn't stop at the service area. You might encounter a gas thief in the middle of the night. A thief can cost you a thousand yuan. I have to watch all night!" Brother Yang said with a bitter smile.
Yan Shouyi was silent for a while, nodded silently, climbed into the passenger seat, covered with a blanket that smelled of cigarette smoke, but didn't close his eyes.
He had many thoughts in his mind.
But Brother Yang was relaxed. Within three minutes, Yan Shouyi heard even and loud snoring.
This snoring sound like thunder is simply a human alarm. If oil thieves within a two-kilometer radius hear it, they will probably not dare to come and cause trouble, right?
Yan Shou couldn't help but smile when he thought of this, and then he followed Brother Yang's example of saying "no worries" and closed his eyes to rest.
Time flies by in the middle of the night.
Yan Shouyi was suddenly awakened by a slight movement.
He frowned, held his breath, and concentrated on sensing the situation outside the car.
His hearing is very sensitive, and he can probably simulate the scene outside the car in his mind just by listening to the movement.
At this time, Yan Shouyi clearly felt that there were three sneaky guys outside the car, ducking into the grass and slowly approaching the truck.
A gas thief?
